My black Case Crown arrived today. Everyone was right about this being a great case. Looks much better than the photos. I'm not a big fan of the textured look in general (prefer smooth), but this is fine because it's a small footprint. Attractive, quality look. Most importantly the power switch isn't encumbered.

I paid $30 for the other cover I was using. Hopefully I can use it for another eReader in the near future. Maybe the upcoming touch Kindle will fit it.

I went back to using my original case (with the 4 straps). Couldn't read comfortably with the Case Crown (didn't feel natural) and found the flap/clasp distracting (just dangling). Always took the Kobo out when reading. I prefer touching the front of the Kobo itself (Black) and not the Case Crown material. With my original cover I can do that. Of course there's the bigger footprint and the encumbered power switch. *sigh* But I'm happy when reading.

That's a shame! I found folding the clasp back underneath worked for me otherwise its just like holding a book (remember those? ) Unlike a book you only read one side and that does make the front cover feel like it is a nuisance but I'm getting used to that.

Interestin that you've dropped the Case Crown. I wasn't a fan of the heavy textured look of the case.

I think I'd like a Moleskin style elastic more (than a flap/clasp). I still haven't ordered a case as I keep waiting for some other options but I've yet to see many . The Cover-up/ucover (http://www.ucover.co/Product_Info.asp?productID=730) case seem ok. Be curious to hear some first hand feedback on these. It's curious that some posts on ebay list these as genuine leather, and others faux.

I like the case you linked to. The three storage card slots are overkill though. I can't get past looking at those. It looks like it was made for the Sony 600/650 because those models use two different size memory cards (Memory Stick and SD), plus a stylus (stylus holder shown in other photos).

@SCION: I think you might be right (re: it being a repurposed SONY eReader Case). Still a nice way to get to market quickly I guess (& move old stock), and it does look ok/seem to hold the Kobo Touch well (not covering access to the buttons or charging port.

@Terisa de morgan: nice (if a little girly for me :-) )... the front of the cover looks really big in that 2nd photo though. Is it well reinforced inside? Who (on Etsy) did you get this from? My wife might be interested in a similar case.

Well, I'm such a girly, what can i do? The front cover is around 1 cm wider than Kobo Touch, I think it's the same size for Kobo and Nook Touch, but no so big. And not very strong reinforced (not rigid but strong material), which it is OK for me (I don't like a lot hard covers). The shop is this:

I inquired about the same thing and received a response. There's concern that the case would be too wide, given the NOOK is 5.0 and the Kobo 4.5. The person stated they haven't tried a Kobo.

That was what I thought also (a little loose). Somewhat $ to experiment with also. Though if you (EMG) want to get one a let us know that would be great? :-)

@Terisa de morgan: Cheers. You think it is just a singe sheet of card in the cover? My wife might need something a little more durable for when she chucks in the bag with all he other odds and ends. Some cool designs though.
